Firenze Sage: Take the day off! [teachers in Detroit]

 

 Kids cannot read at grade level but teachers strike

In the public schools in Detroit, Mich., according to the U.S. Department of Education, only 7 percent of the eighth graders are grade-level proficient or better in reading.

Some public school teachers in the City of Detroit and around the state of Michigan are reportedly taking a vacation or a sick day today to protest right-to-work legislation likely to be approved by the state legislature. Under current law, Michigan public school teachers must pay dues to the teachers’ union.

With results like these the teachers should take the rest of their teaching career off.
